That's the rule which gives you advantage in 100 % of RHP games, and 92 % of OTB games.

Nope. I remember one time I wanted to trade pawns, but suspected my opponent wouldn't if he thought that was what I wanted. So I moved two squares instead of one, and he immediately snatched the pawn en passant.
